Abstract
Chronic and inappropriate use of antibiotics, antibiotic residue, and bacterial infections present a significant threat to both the environment and human health. This study focused on the effective remediation of wastewater contaminants through the synthesis of Cu-based metal-organic framework (CuMOF) conjugated with layered double hydroxide (LDHs) via hydrothermal processing, resulting in the development of a novel three-dimensional (3D) flower-shaped CuMOF@LDHs (Fc-LDHs) hybrid materials. After being characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XRD, zeta potential and BET, the obtained Fc-LDHs was applied to adsorption of antibiotics, and its antibacterial activity was also investigated. It indicated that Fc-LDHs exhibited excellent performance in both adsorption and antibacterial activity. Utilizing tetracycline (TC) as a representative antibiotic, the influence of various parameters on the adsorption efficiency was examined. The study revealed that an adsorbent mass of 0.08 g could achieve a removal efficiency of 94.2 % for TC at an initial concentration of 50 mg/L within 90 min, with the removal rate remaining at 72.6 % after four cycles of adsorption-desorption. It was also found that the adsorption mechanism was consistent with the Freundlich isothermal model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The exceptional adsorption properties were primarily ascribed to the synergistic effects of electrostatic interactions, pore filling, chelation and hydrogen bonding interactions between Fc-LDHs and TC. Simultaneously, the antibacterial rates of Fc-LDHs reached to 90.3 % and 95.7 % against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), respectively. In conclusion, Fc-LDHs proved to be a highly efficient remedy for addressing antibiotic and antibacterial pollution, functioning both as a proficient adsorbent and antibacterial agent.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
